| Money from MARS for sporting individuals and teams |
A recent survey undertaken by MARS Refuel Drink has revealed that two out of five people aren’t interested in taking part in any form of exercise. A further third feel that they are too unfit to start, while 16% say that they can’t afford to take part.
To help people overcome some of these barriers to exercise, the Mars Refuel Drink Fund will be opening again for entries from March 1, 2010 and will run for three months until May 31. The Fund has £10,000 to donate each month to the most deserving applicants.
The MARS Refuel Drink Fund was set up to help people overcome the various barriers preventing them getting involved in an active lifestyle by offering £500 awards to selected applicants. Since its initial launch in 2008, MARS Refuel Drink Fund has attracted 9068 applications and helped to refuel 8304 people.
Last year, the Fund contributed £500 to the GB Baseball Team to help meet the costs of participating in the IBAF World Cup.
How to Enter
Applications can be made online at www.marsrefuel.com offering support with anything from equipment costs, to improving training grounds and club houses.
You don’t just have to be part of a team to benefit. The fund will also give support to individuals raising money for charity through sporting activities.
The site will be regularly updated with the names of the people and clubs that win awards each month. They will also be invited to post comments, pictures and videos of themselves as part of their application.
The fund is open to residents of, and clubs and organisations based in, the UK and Republic of Ireland only. Applicants must be 12 years or over and only one application will be accepted per person, club or organisation.
